Beware Fakes & Synthetics
New synthetic opals are being created every year and manufacturers are getting better at replicating natural opal.
A synthetic opal is a man-made opal made in a laboratory.
Synthetic opal generally falls into three categories. Glass imitations, plastic imitations or resin & silica mixture imitations.
There are many reputable sellers out there clearly stating that their opal is synthetic, but there are some who try and pass it off as the real thing.
When you buy a piece of opal jewellery I advise having it authenticated by a jeweller or a professional appraisal by a gemologist.

I don't sell opal doublets or opal triplets nor do I sell cultured imitation opal:
All of the opals that I sell are 100% solid natural products that I cut from the rough opal and polish myself. All have a unique design, no two are alike.
This opal is a solid, natural, untreated stone.
